Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Affected versions of the RabbitMQ Java client (com.rabbitmq:amqp-client) before 5.33.0 use a trust manager that accepts any TLS certificate when ConnectionFactory.useSslProtocol() is called without arguments, and hostname verification is off by default. A network attacker positioned between client and broker could intercept traffic and read credentials. Upgrade to amqp-client 5.33.0 or later; until then, call useSslProtocol() with an explicit trust manager and enable hostname verification.
